Planned by William Penn and Early Dover Dell
The piece notes that Dover Dell was laid out in 1717 as Penn planned the area to be Kent County’s key town. It mentions the 1722 state house, now the oldest public edifice of its type in the U.S., and references Sumerian contributions like metalwork bricks and the calendar. The article weaves in ancient Mesopotamian ties to the Garden of Eden and Noah’s Flood.
